the most recent polls are hovering around the margin of error, which is a good trend for romney. how important is ohio for romney? the path at 270 electoral votes is just tough for him if he loses the buckeye state. cnn has something like neen toss-up states with ohio in the obama column. romney would have to win six, maybe seven of the remaining toss-up states to win the white house. so when senator portman says, you know, he wouldn't want to take the risk, that's why. very, very tough road to hoe for the republican challenger. >> in the effort to make sure that doesn't happen, the obama campaign is bringing out some of the big guns, particularly in the rock star bruce springsteen. >> yeah. bruce springsteen always very popular certainly in the northeast and probably his working class appeal is going to go over pretty well there in the buckeye state. i know i grew up in ohio and that's where i first heard my bruce springsteen music. we know president obama is going to keep campaigning and spending lots of money there through election day. mitt romney is going to do that also, an

the gallup poll showed president obama under mitt romney. how do they come back after a such a large gap? >> that 72% likely seems large, but those numbers are often dictated by the spin that comes after a debate performance, so it's probably a little bit artificially high for those who saw the debate. that being said i think the president needs to get back into the driver's seat. it has really only been the last several months that we has taken off in a position of strong play. he needs to give the base a reason to be excited. if there's anything to worry about, it's the enthusiasm numbers, and those are the easiest to impact on a moments notice. if like michelle said he's aggressive on the stump in articulating his vision but also tying it back to how his record has impacted people in this country, and how his plans and romney's plans will do that in the future. >> joy: and michelle there was a battle groub poll that shows nation wise 86% of romney supports are extremely likely to vote. so the question is how does the president energize re

on top of that, the polls show romney is leading among independent voters by a staggering 16%. according to fox news polls, exit polls in 2008, obama won the independent vote by 8%. so that means that's a 24-point shift with 29 days before the election. all of this has sent the obama campaign into full crisis and panic mode. the president, his surrogates are sinking lower than they have before all in an effort to stop the romney surge. they're playing desperate. they want to paint governor romney has someone the america people should fear. their chicago-style politics are played out on a national stage because at the end of the day that's their only option. this is what happens when you are a desperate candidate who has failed his constituents for nearly four years. you're forced to call your opponent a liar pants on fire. >> plenty of people have pointed out what a liar mitt romney is and was last night. i mean, if he was talking -- he was speaking last night, he was lying. >> are you saying that governor romney lied or was dishonest? >> well, yeah, i think he was dishonest ab
